Austin City Limits Live (ACL Live & 3TEN ACL Live)

"This might be Austin’s most important music venue—it’s where the concerts broadcast on Austin City Limits are filmed. Even when the TV crew isn’t set up, the Moody Theater attracts all kinds of A-listers for relatively intimate shows, from Kacey Musgraves and Jack White to Bonnie Raitt and Diana Ross. There’s a towering Willie Nelson statue outside and great Downtown restaurants within walking distance (Hestia, Uchiba, Bill’s Oyster). " - matthew jacobs

"Although you’re better off with the well drinks or beer at the city’s premier downtown concert venue ACL Live and its smaller counterpart 3Ten, the sound system and comfortable seating at the home of PBS series Austin City Limits simply can’t be beaten. And oftentimes, Tacodeli sets up a patio station for food needs. There are indoor and outdoor areas." - Darcie Duttweiler

"Certainly, the indoor space at downtown venue ACL Live was engineered to be the finest of live music experiences, but the outdoor patio — walk up a few flights of stairs to get lovely southerly views — is a gorgeous place to drink a beer before seeing your favorite band." - Nadia Chaudhury, Darcie Duttweiler

"Musicians of all genres perform in this intimate theater for live tapings of the longstanding PBS concert series, Austin City Limits. If you're lucky enough to snag a ticket through the lottery system, grab a drink at the bar on the outdoor patio overlooking downtown Austin before the show. Then take your seat inside the intimate venue, where the atmosphere is charged as some of the biggest names in music take the stage. They'll often perform stripped-down or acoustic sets, so you can really see their talents shine through." - Jonathan Thompson, Mandy Ellis
